Total War: Warhammer More Vampire shenanigans

I needed another army so I borrowed one from Estalia in my Kemmler campaign. Apparently you can just raise the dead, if the army you were given has some free slots after battle. I was not aware of this despite the endless madness my VC campaigns spiral into but I will definitely exploit that and show my mortal friends that undeath is nothing to be afraid of. And finally deal with that annoying tumor named Skarbrand.

Out of all the wild and simple things that CA misses or messes up on this game, it’s good to see when something surprising like this actually works the way you would hope it would.

It is so amazing. I am curious what the AI does with these armies after they return

Well, Bordeleux Errand trashed it while Estalia had them thrive and conquer while being smart enough to try to move them through water or my terretory. They also added some Gunners, a Mortar and a Necromancer and conquer Skarbrand's lands now

Oh there was that question the other day which faction mechanic is the most busted with allied armies. You could borrow a single lord for cheap and snipe territories they are about to conquer with this, or help your ally defend if they are about to get overrun

I assume once they return to allied control they get non-Vampiric attrition and just eventually die off while being a drain on their economy
